Why is it painful to lift a heavy load with a thin piece of string?

Physics
1 answer:
Aleksandr [31]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

A thin piece of string has lower force than of a heavy load.

When the load is being lifted, the force exerted by the load is much more greater than the string, which eventually hits our hands.

For example, a heavy bag. You tie a thin string to it and try to lift it. The force exerted by the bag will hit the string harder, reaching for your plams. As the thin string has less force, its reaction force is not enough to hit back the greater force. Also, the less the surface area, the more difficult the grip gets. But, if you attach a thick rope or belt, the force exerted my the bag is automatically minimized as the reaction force of the thick rope is near about the action force. Hence, greater the surface area, better the grip.

<em>*action force: force exerted by the bag</em>

<em>*reaction force: the force hit back by the rope</em>

Difference between upthrust force and normal reaction force.
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Both are contact forces arising at the interface between two bodies. In the fluid this interface might be irregular, and it completely surrounds a submerged object. For a solid it is usually a single flat surface - but it can be a collection of surfaces, which do not need to be flat or regular, and which can surround the object

Upthrust occurs at a fluid-solid interface whereas normal reaction occurs at a solid-solid surface. However, it is possible to generate the same fluid-like phenomenon of upthrust by immersing a solid object in sand or small beads and agitating them to simulate the pressure of atoms. With

What is the name for the layer of cells at the back of the eye that contains photoreceptors?
Alona [7]
B.) The retina is the layer containing t<span>he light sensing nerve cells (rods and cones)

The lens helps the eye focus light on the retina, the cornea is the outer transparent structure that covers the iris and helps the eye focus, and the pupil is the opening through which light enters the eye.</span>

Engineers can determine properties of a structure that is modeled as a damped spring oscillator, such as a bridge, by applying a
Kazeer [188]

The value of spring constant and the oscillator's damping constant is

K= 6605.667008, b= 0.002884387

Explanation:

For Weakly damping spring oscillator

K/m = W_0^2     (at resonance)

K= mW_0^2

=0.206 * ( 2π * 28.5) ^2

=0.206 * (2π)^2 * (28.5)^2

K= 6605.667008

F = - bV

b= -F/V = -F/ -W_0 * m

=F/W_0 * m

= 0.438N / 2π * 28.5 * 0.848

b= 0.002884387
